Re: Sliding fingering indication

[David Stocker]

I'm also interested in this, but I haven't gotten around to adding 
fingerings to my scores yet. I'd add that the dash to the left of the 
fingering should have a slight incline in the direction of the slide. Is 
that something that would be relatively simple to do in the current version?
